I've felt for a while that the forum layout is not as good as it could be, especially with regard to the ASSS stuff.

Here's an improved layout I worked up:

Code: Show/Hide
Random Spam
   Announcements

   Trash Talk

   Zone Junk

   Zone Hosting
      This should go here, with zone junk.

Subgame
   General Questions
      Rewrite the description to make it clear that if you don't know where to post then this is the forum.
      
   Bot Questions


ASSS
   ASSS General Help
      Rename ASSS Questions, as that name doesn't really cut it
   
   Module Help
      New Forum. Name says it all.
   
   Completed Custom Modules
      Custom code posts should be dumped here.

   ASSS Bugs

Mapping and Graphics
   LVZ/LVL Questions
      I might split maps and lvz, too
   Tools
      A seperate forum for tools would be nice, so we don't have to go looking through misc apps.
   
Independent Coding
   General Coding
      We seem to need it, as trash talk has become this
   
   Chat Clients
      Rename chatnet to be more general. Some misc apps may deserve to go here.
   
   Misc User Apps


In addition, I am willing to write up documentation for ASSS if people feel that would be helpful to their learning of ASSS.

I think it's high time that ASSS gave up its "too complicated for mortal minds" stereotype.

4 forums seems overkill for a topic that gets maybe 1-2 posts per week.

For what it's worth, I agree with both Dr Brain and Mr Ekted. My preference would be for a single section for all asss-related questions, whether admin- or coding-related. It's easier for me to keep track of, and more in line with the amount of traffic. Also, those sections are pretty specific: "general help" topics often turn into "bugs", and "module help" ones often turn into "completed modules" (well, maybe not, but it would be nice).

I wasn't sure if the ASSS Bugs forum was worth keeping around, but since it was already there, I just left it in.

The other changes followed from rearranging the ASSS forum.

NOTE: Quick reply seems to be acting up.

He's probably talking about something like what Ekted posted about.

I had accidentially turned javascript off.

Now, why quick reply needs javascript... I don't know.

Its very simple, look at the source. Pretty much there to dynamically tack on the Quoted data. This was only a simple HTML hack, not a PHP one.

Code: Show/Hide
function checkForm() {
   formErrors = false;
   document.post.message.value = '';
   if (document.post.input.value.length < 2) {
      formErrors = 'You must enter a message when posting';
   }
   if (formErrors) {
      alert(formErrors);
      return false;
   } else {
      if (document.post.quick_quote.checked) {
         document.post.message.value = document.post.last_msg.value;
      }
      document.post.message.value += document.post.input.value;
      return true;
   }
}
